About our game

Fast - paced

Every move is deadly, really, this game is one hit -> one kill.

Ideal for any number of players

2 players - it’s a duel

4 players - it’s a brawl

6 players - it’s a battle

8 players - what’s going on?

Well.. except for 1 player. But wait, what public games are for?

Hand painted, unique levels

You’ve never experienced such controls. Do you know any game where you can jump downwards?

All walls are your friends. You can climb any structure in the game as easily as just running.

Mix couch and online coop in any way you want. You can have any number of players playing from any number of PCs across internet (well, up to 8 total).

Unlock new characters with your achievement and show your prowess with skin recolor of your choice.

Use items to kill, escape and distract your enemies.

So it is fighting only? Not really. Use your fighting skills in additional game modes like Treasure Hunt and Artifact.

Treasure Hunt

Treasure Hunt mode is quite straightforward. Coins are laying around the arena. Go get them to your base before enemy team does. Or... hunt players
carrying those coins.

Artifact

Artifact mode is something new you’ve never experienced before. It goes like this:

There’s an artifact levitating in the center of map

Your goal is to take artifact to your base to expand it

Artifact is attracted to your team if you feed it souls of your enemies. Guess how to obtain those souls...

You have to cooperate as all of your team has to work together to control the artifact

Confused? Just try it out. It’s easy once you play it.
